This Atylotus was photographed on the dike of a polder, lining a saltmarsh, in north Brittany...

Do you know this species?

Thank you for your help.

Femora are entirely yellow.
This is not the case with rusticus.

At least hind femora seem to be darkened at base. I have similarly colored rusticus. Frontal calli seem to be too big for fulvus. For exact ID, I need to study animal under microscope or to get picture of antennae to study relative width of 3rd antennal segment.

I agree with Libor it is not fulvus.

It is rusticus or latistriatus. In the latter, the colouration of femora is very variable. But I don't see hairs on the eyes in the pictures....
